[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Landlords can decline to continue renting by allowing a rental license to expire. They are not indentured servants. They should give you appropriate notice.

What conflict of any kind have you had with them, as renters? What small or big things might they be unhappy about?[/quote]

This is not true in DC. In DC it automatically goes month to
Month and you can’t kick out a tenant who has been paying rent etc unless the owner herself wants to move back  in and even then you have to give ninety days notice. [/quote]

In DC, there are other reasons the lease could terminate, like the landlord doing substantial renovations, converting it to a condo, or no longer renting it out to anyone. See page 14 of https://www.thelpa.com/Washington-DC-TenantGuide.pdf. Appropriate notice and some other rules would still apply.[/quote]

You also can raise the rent at the end of the lease term if you are not subject to rent control.  If you are a private LL with fewer than 4 properties and don't hold your properties in any type of corporation, then you are not subject to rent control.  This means that as soon as lease expires you can offer your tenant a much higher rent thereby forcing them out unless they are some sort of protected tenant.  With protected tenants you still can take your property from them if you are moving in yourself and won't be renting it out.  You are still the owner and have at least SOME rights to it to use as you want.[/quote]
